This depends on the school district size: the smaller districts have the food delivered while the largest (like universities) can have a full time staff.
A 1kg pasta (less than 30cents in the States) can easily feed 3 well built kids: so the material can be very cheap (especially if made in the "truly" italian way).
school district, at least in europe, do not have to make a profit. On the other hand the savings in the long run (less healt problems better life quality) repays itself in a very short time.

We had NO junk food in italy at school
up to university (included).
It really was cheap and healty way to feed kids:
they gave you simple food that was properly cooked.
I live in uk and I've been in the States and now
I'm more than proud of this way.
I'm currently looking for a job and this what I've been told.
